EU-Parlamentet lover at bekæmpe regulering af internettet

Europa-Parlamentet stemte torsdag for en stærkt formuleret resolution, der opfordrer medlemsstaterne til at bekæmpe enhver udvidelser af FNs beføjelser til at regulere internettet, og alle internationale reguleringer af internettet.

“As a consequence of some of the proposals presented, the ITU itself could become the ruling power over aspects of the internet, which could end the present bottom-up, multi-stakeholder model; expresses concern that, if adopted, these proposals may seriously affect the development of, and access to, online services for end users, as well as the digital economy as a whole… …the ITU reform proposals include the establishment of new profit mechanisms that could seriously threaten the open and competitive nature of the internet, driving up prices, hampering innovation and limiting access; recalls that the internet should remain free and open.”
